We began a study of the solar system when we came back from break. We have made glitter stars and recently began making papier-mache planets. We plan to hang them from the ceiling when we have finished covering them with tissue paper. We are also creating pictures of aliens and will do a writing project that dovetails with this. We've been reading stories, most recently Zathura, a story filled with black holes, reverse polarity gravity and alien spaceships. We'll read it again, as it was a lot of information to take in. We hope to build a solar system in the gym to allow the children to move as though they are the planets.
